Forget Ranveer Singh, Shuddhi taken by Aamir Khan?

Filmmaker-producer Karan Johar’s one of the most ambitious projects, Shuddhi, has gone through several hiccups by now. First it was Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor Khan who were apparently confirmed for their respective roles. After both of them walked out it was Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone in the leading roles. Now there is a new twist in the casting tale of Shuddhi as Aamir Khan is the new name in the scenario.

Karan has been reportedly engaged in discussions with Aamir for the male lead in Shuddhi. Earlier Shah Rukh Khan was also approached for the role. An insider said, "Karan is still trying to lock the lead for his film and has recently shared the script of Shuddhi with Aamir, but nothing has been finalised yet. Aamir has asked Karan to give him time to go through the script." Karan also announced that Shuddhi will release on December 25 this year but it looks pretty uncertain as the leading man is not finalised yet. Karan remained unavailable for comments on the same. Aamir’s spokesperson, though, upheld that the perfectionist of Bollywood has not been approached for Shuddhi yet.
